Superstar Rajinikanth’s much-anticipated movie ‘Coolie’, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has already been the talk of the town. However, a major setback has hit the production as a significant action scene from the movie got leaked online, leaving fans excited but the filmmakers frustrated.
The leaked sequence features Nagarjuna, who plays a key role in the movie, engaged in an intense fight scene. Reports suggest that the sequence took two months to film and cost crores of rupees to produce. Unfortunately, the video found its way to social media, causing concerns for the director and the team.
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Reaction to the Leak
Kanagaraj, who has a reputation for creating thrilling cinematic experiences, was visibly upset by the leak. He took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his displeasure, stating that the hard work of many people over two months was ruined in just a few seconds due to an unauthorized recording. The director urged fans to refrain from spreading the video, as it diminishes the movie’s impact when scenes are prematurely revealed.
In his statement, he wrote, “2 months of hard work of many people went down the drain, just because of one recording.” He further requested that people avoid circulating such leaks as it can spoil the audience’s overall experience when the film is finally released.
Nagarjuna’s Action Sequence Goes Viral
The leaked clip, which was filmed in Visakhapatnam, shows Nagarjuna in a fierce action sequence, reportedly hitting an opponent with a hammer. Nagarjuna, who plays the character Simon, has been a significant addition to the movie’s cast, and fans were eagerly waiting to see his role in the film.
Though the leak has caused disappointment for the production team, it has only increased the curiosity among the audience, with many eagerly awaiting the official release of this Tamil film. The movie, expected to hit the screens in 2025, is already creating waves due to its stellar cast, including stars like Shruti Haasan, Shobin Shaheer, and Sathyaraj.
Coolie’s Possible Connection to the LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe)
There is also speculation about whether Coolie will be part of the LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe), a concept that has garnered attention after the success of films like ‘Vikram’ and ‘Kaithi’. While there has been no official confirmation on this, the discussions are ongoing. Lokesh Kanagaraj has stated that, for now, he is focused on making Coolie a standalone film, though fans remain hopeful for a connection to the larger cinematic universe.
Future Projects and Excitement Around the Director’s Upcoming Films
Apart from Coolie, Kanagaraj has several other projects in the pipeline that have generated excitement. Films like ‘Leo’, ‘Kaithi 2’, and ‘Vikram 2’ are eagerly awaited, and the director’s ability to create engaging and action-packed films has left fans excited for what’s to come.
With Rajinikanth at the helm and Lokesh Kanagaraj directing, Coolie is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2025. Despite the unfortunate leak, fans remain optimistic about the film, and the production team is now more determined than ever to ensure the movie delivers on its massive expectations.
